Prosecutorial Accountability | The Justice Project

Prosecutorial Accountability The Justice Project: "Prosecutors are arguably the most powerful figures in the American criminal justice system. Prosecutors decide which charges to bring, what plea bargain to offer, and what sentence to request. Their decisions have far-reaching consequences on defendants, victims, their respective families, and the general public. Given the special duties of prosecutors, and the broad power they exercise in the criminal justice system, it is critical that prosecutors discharge their duties responsibly and ethically."THE IRISH"REASONS"PROJECT?
